"What a haven of sanity in a noisy, fast city. Step inside the park and it all quietens down. Easy to walk around, well signed, lots of different areas to explore. Lakes, ponds, cafes, sitting areas, the great lawn, children's play areas. This park is loaded with opportunity."

"The Staten Island Ferry connects lower Manhattan with the NYC Borough of Staten Island. It's the best deal around - freeeeeee! It's clean and safe and you get a great view of the Statue of Liberty and the Manhattan skyline. Be warned, all passengers must disembark when the ferry docks. So, if you ar..."e just riding it to see the sights, you will have to get off and get back on. The ferry stations have clean bathrooms and snack bars, so it's fun all around. Highly recommended!

"we passed through harlem on the open topped bus and it was fascinating there is the old appollo theatre here and a lot of movies are being made here all the time we saw actors and lights over to our left as we left harlem but don't know which film it was for"

"Anyone who complains about the hop on hop off tour offered by Gray Line hasn't carefully thought about what they are getting in for. It's a bus that has to manoeuvre through NYC...yes there will be delays, no there is no air conditioing, and if you sit up top and its sunny and hot, you will sweat. ..."If it rains you will get wet, but they have ponchos. Go early in the morning when it's not busy and you may see what we saw...a great city with a great guide...Don Cook, who was both funny and extremely informative. Sure we had one day when it poured rain on us, and the next day we got stuck in traffic. Suck it up, jump off and walk if you are in that much of a hurry. Otherwise, this is a fantastic way to see the city, get oriented, and figure out where you might want to go back and see on foot later. Very well worth it.

"We had New York City Passes and originally were only interested in going to the Top of the Rock but figured what the heck we'd do the whole tour. Well were we ever glad we did! Rockefeller Center is an amazingly beautiful building but you wouldn't normally know this unless you read up or had a good ..."tour guide. Ours was outstanding and her name is Lindsey. She was informative, friendly, entertaining and extremely knowledgeable about everything people threw at her I. Terms of questions. The tour takes about an hour and highlights the history of the building and much of the art work that adorns it. We found it very worthwhile and the. The trip up was just outstanding. We went a day after it had rained and the views were spectacular. Definitely do the full tour if you go to 30 Rock.

"Huge museum with more than my aching knees could see. I instead, skipped most of the museum and went straight to the gift shop. They had a great selection of postcards of the museum, artwork, Central Park, fashion through he ages etc."

"This is a lovely walk packed with art, activities and nature from the Meatpacking District to Midtown West. Check their website for current activities, I would recommend going first thing in the morning to avoid the crowds. The Whitney is a wonderful addition."

"The guide was incredibly knowlegible and pleasant. Although the day was a bit hot, we barely noticed thanks to the engaging presentation. I had never been to Central Park before and I learned more than I bet a lot of natives know!"

"Can't go to NYC without visiting the Statue of Liberty. Make sure you book your tickets in advance otherwise you will have to wait in a huge queue to buy your tickets then another huge queue to get on board the ferry. With reserved tickets, picking up at the will call window took less than 5 minutes..." and you get to join a less horrendous queue with the others who have pre-booked. Organisation of the lines are poor. They were splitting everyone into two lines only to approach one ticket checker at the end and end up in one line again. Don't buy any $3.75 water before getting in line as you can't take it through security to the ferry.
The ferry from NY takes you to the Statue and then onwards to the Ellis Island Immigration Museum. Very reasonably priced and a must do in NY. Great views of the statue from the boat.

"Tour was good, tour guide Ken was excellent! We bought the two day pass. Ended up taking the downtown bus both days. First day we just wanted to see the sights and took the cruise. Staff at the dock didn't really know what they were doing. The wait was way too long. Cruise was a waste of time. ..."The second day we took the downtown bus to the 911 Museum. On the way back the traffic was very heavy and it took a long time to get back to Time Square BUT, our guide Ken made it a very enjoyable trip. He was by far the most knowledgeable of all the guides. The Big Bus staff was very friendly and organized.

"Beautiful, peaceful place in the middle of chaotic New York City. I was surprised that the park was a little crowded when we were there. Lots of walking, fun to sit by the lake and have lunch. Glad we took the time to visit."
